Good old rice and beans

I am constantly in the place of trying to figure out an easy recipe that my whole family will enjoy, one of my fall backs is rice and beans. I grew up loving this dish. It was one of the items my mother would make from time to time. She always tried to keep it fun with the food she made. Mom also had the concern of making enough food that would be healthy and also inexpensive. There were four of us and we ate a lot! I have three children of my own and they can also really put food down! This is a great way to get a meal that has a complete protein and plenty of vitamins that isn't your typical meat and potatoes fare.So here is a recipe that I use in my home, hopefully it is one you and yours can enjoy--and don't forget the hot sauce!
11/2 cups brown rice
1/2 red onion
2 cans black or red beans
3 cloves of garlic
2 tsp cumin
2 diced tomatoes
--sautee onions and garlic in olive oil, add diced tomatoes and beans and cumin. Once rice is fully cooked add to the sautee pan, add hot sauce if desired or fresh hot pepper, season to taste.
